Answer:

The reporter surveyed 60 girls.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you can use a rule of three to find the amount of girls that the reporter surveyed which is 100% given that 39 girls represent 65%:

65%  →  39

100% →    x

x=(100*39)/65

x=60

According to this, the answer is that the reporter surveyed 60 girls.

A skate ramp is 4.2 meters long. It rises up 1.7 meters. What’s is the angle of elevation to the nearest tenth of a degree?

Θ

Explanation:
We view the ramp as a right triangle. The hypotenuse is 4.2 and the vertical side .7, which is opposite the angle
θ
we seek.

I'm going to finish the problem but I'll note if we were actually building the ramp we don't need to know the angle; this sine is sufficient.

which I think is a pretty steep ramp for a wheelchair.
There will be another inverse sine that is the supplementary angle, around
170

, but we can rule that out as a value for a ramp wedge angle.

alfredo bought a fishing pole for 60 off it's original price of $97 if the tax was 4% how much did alfredo pay for the fishing p
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

$40.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The regular price of the fishing rod is $97

There is a 60% discount from that price.

The discount is equal to 60% of $97 which is equal to .60 * $97 which is equal to $58.2

Discount is like a markdown, so subtract $58.2 from the price of the item before the change to get $97 - $58.2 = $38.8 

This is the price of the item before tax is applied.

Now you apply the sales tax of 4%.

4% of $38.8 is equal to .04 * $38.8 which is equal to $1.552

Tax is like a markup, so add $1.552 to the price of the item before tax was applied to get a selling price of $38.8 + $1.552 which is equal to $40.352

Round it up and the answer is $40.4
